Magazine Advert Ideas

Like many album adverts I want there to be parallels between the aesthetic of it and the album cover. However, I do not want to simply recreate the album cover, instead I want to create a theme. The album is called 'Circles' and my theme from this will be life, or more simply the motto 'from the cradle to the grave'. I want the concept to be that life is a circle and the depression of being stuck in a rut. This is why I have chosen to use the image of a skeleton for both my album cover and advert.

I want to use the same colours as on my album cover to show a link between the two so my advert will be mainly black with grey and white highlights for text. Instead of the skeleton being in the middle of the page like on my CD cover I want it to be on the edge of the page so only half of it is showing. On the other side of the page I will have the lead singer of 'The Dejected'. Both will have an arm outstreched towards on and other, symbolising the link between life and death.

DigiPak Influences

I like the idea of using a skull because it fits with the theme of the album. Also, the image of a skull stands out and is quite bold so will catch the attention of people. I like the look of dark imagery and it fits with the feel of the song that our video is for. I quite like the idea of using a simple colour scheme of only two or three colours as I think this will be more effective and will tie in well to the theme.

Digipak Ideas

  I want my front cover to show the image of a skeleton on a black background. I want to use a blurred effect like on the 'Editors', and the 'Electrocuted'  album. I want the name of the album 'Circles' to be in big bold letters layered over the top of the image. I want the band name in white or light grey at the bottom of the cover. I want the main colour of my Digipak to be black with some grey and white. I want the tracklist on the back cover, using white text and some decorative designs down the sides. I like the black and white contrast on the 'Welcome to the Black Parade' and 'Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea', I want to use this as my colour scheme.
